Meghan McCain: Rep. Bachmann is a 'poor man's Sarah Palin,' slams her State of the Union rebuttal
The New York Daily News ^ | 2011-01-27 | Aliyah Shahid

Tell us what you really think, Meghan.

Meghan McCain took aim at Rep. Michele Bachmann's State of the Union rebuttal on Wednesday night, insisting the Minnesota congresswoman is "a poor man's Sarah Palin."

The 26-year-old Daily Beast columnist and daughter of former GOP vice presidential candidate John McCain, made the cutting remarks when MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell asked what she thought of the "second response to the speech."

Bachmann gave her rebuttal on behalf of the Tea Party after the designated Republican response to President Obama's State of the Union address had already aired.

Critics charged Bachmann was giving the appearance that the GOP and Tea Party were divided.

O'Donnell agreed with McCain that "there were these different people who are just using their platforms to their own personal advantage rather than thinking about what it means for the party."

"I think it's important to note that Michele Bachmann is not a leader," said McCain. "She is not a leader of the Republican Party. Michele Bachmann in my opinion is no better than a poor man's Sarah Palin."

CNN was the only cable network to air Bachmann's rebuttal live, which McCain said the network should be "ashamed" about.

Don’t worry, nuconvert -— I won’t “ping” you to this one, either; none of us should be commenting on this pathetic characature of a human being. (Unfortunately, EVERYONE is giving her the attention she craves from her daddy who calls her, “Princess.”)

She grew up with her daddy calling her princess, and she still believes it - and so does the media.

The fact that she appears on LOD's show disqualifies her and her opinion to all except LOD.

Also - former GOP vice presidential candidate John McCain?

The Daily News sucks......
